    Wow. Dean was a great friend in high school. We weren’t the closest but damn if he didn’t leave a lasting impression. Always, always, always ran into each other at places and just had a blast. I will never forget that smirk. Such a great loss. You will be missed my friend!!

    My condolences to the Dobson family. As a former neighbour to Dean in Brucefield, I had a good laugh at mention of playing music to the early morning hours but he had good taste so I didnโ€™t mind too much! Iโ€™ll always remember Dean for our conversations and his willingness to offer a helping hand when I needed it. Rest In Peace Dean!
